Guava Glow Shots

Description

💖 Guava Glow Shots

Guava + tonic + glitter fog (Makes 6–8 shots)

🍹 Ingredients:

For the Shots:

  • 2 oz guava juice (pink or white – fresh or bottled)

  • 1½ oz gin or vodka (gin adds botanical lift; vodka keeps it clean)

  • 1 oz tonic water (for glow under blacklight)

  • ½ oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)

  • ½ oz simple syrup (optional – adjust to taste)

  • 1 pinch edible shimmer dust (silver or pearl for fog effect)

  • Ice (for shaking)

Optional Garnish:

  • Tiny guava cube on cocktail pick

  • Lime wheel or twist

  • Glitter rim (edible glitter + sugar)


✨ Directions:

1. Prepare the Shot Glasses:

  • (Optional) Rim each shot glass with lime juice and dip in glitter sugar for a glam sparkle.

  • Chill in the freezer while mixing.

2. Mix the Shot:

  • In a shaker, combine:

    • Guava juice

    • Gin or vodka

    • Lime juice

    • Simple syrup (if needed)

    • A splash of tonic water

    • Edible shimmer dust

  • Add ice and shake well until frothy and cold.

3. Pour & Serve:

  • Strain into chilled shot glasses.

  • Just before serving, top each with a splash of tonic water to activate the glowing shimmer fog.

  • Serve immediately under blacklight if possible—the quinine in tonic will glow pale blue, and the shimmer dust will swirl like glowing fog.
